The Griffith Park Observatory in Los Angeles has a Foucault Pendulum in the main rotunda at the entry to the observatory building. I'm guessing that its support point is about 40 feet above the bottom of the pit where they have little pins in a holder that are knocked over as the earth

[time-nuts] A Highly-Accurate and Stable SDR Using GPS-DO and DFS

2010-07-23 Thread Brad Dye
My latest project is a general coverage radio receiver (SDR-IQ), tuning from very high audio frequencies (like bats) to 30 MHz in one-Hertz steps -- locked to the GPS constellation. The dial is a 24 color monitor connected to a laptop showing 190 KHz window of the band like a spectrum analyzer.

If you want an HF radio that reads to a Hz, ready made, get a used HP (Agilent) 3486 Selective Level Meter. It covers essentially DC to either 20 or 30 MHz. It has a good internal ovenized oscillator, and can be locked to an external standard. A virtually unique feature is that it will lock onto
